Buying a Dodge Vehicle...

Q: how long a job are we looking at is the clock spring usually stocked at the dealer or something that has to be ordered any idea as to what the cost of the clock spring is itll most likely have to be ordered... rare that something like this is in stock. dealer msrp looks around $60 - depending on your particular dealer you may get it for less. as for the job itself its not too difficult... but i wouldnt attempt it without a factory service manual. the manual talks about a lot of little things to be done to remove/install it without breaking plastic tabs as well as some things to do to keep everything centered. again not difficult - just a little tedious. youll also need a steering wheel puller as the steering wheel has to come off. theres three relevant pages so if you need them drop me an e-mail. .

you lean very heavily on the book of mormon to shore up your belief system. ive never read anyting in mormon doctrine that suggests the book of mormon superceeds the bible or renders it void in any way. its just an additional source of information and guidance. have you ever actually read it for yourself or do you simply criticize blindly like the majority of christians for the record i find to much hypocrisy within christianity to buy into any of it.....but if i were to start going to church i would prefer the mormon teachings over any others. -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911talk.com http//glockcarry.com .

i dont think its the horn relay because i said earlier....the horn just started blowing by itself when i turned the wheel left so in my mind it is either the horn switch assy or clockspring assy. thats what had me suspecting the clockspring... the fact that it happened as you were turning the wheel. i just didnt want you to go ahead and replace it without checking the other simpler causes first. unfortunately it sounds like the other possible causes have been ruled out by your troubleshooting. i have been having intermittant trouble getting the cruise control activated/deactivated green cruise light to come on and go off so maybe it is the clockspring.... pretty safe bet at this point... .

tom- i do have a shop manual and have read up on centering the clockspring and the other issues to consider...again...thanks for the heads up..... heres the rub....i did some troubleshooting this morning...... checked the horn switch assy with a meter and it is working properly....normally open circuit that closes when pressure is applied to the horn switch assy and i removed and tested the horn relay per the shop manual and it checked out fine.......so i am a little unsure as to what to do.... i dont think its the horn relay because i said earlier....the horn just started blowing by itself when i turned the wheel left so in my mind it is either the horn switch assy or clockspring assy. i have been having intermittant trouble getting the cruise control activated/deactivated green cruise light to come on and go off so maybe it is the clockspring.... thoughts thanks- rich i didnt think about the clock spring....but i have heard about them breaking..... also id do a little troubleshooting to make sure it really was the clockspring. for instance does your cruise control work if so it may indeed just be the horn switch in which case you just need to replace the trim cover/horn switch assembly. you can remove this from the steering wheel and test the continuity of the switch with a meter. lastly if that all checks out suspect a sticking horn relay and replace it. .

no it looks like a bit of spam to me first of all i have to mention this disclaimer for anyone thinking im up to anything. no this is not to solicit sales. i went thru 3 months of asking questions and hunting down parts and other headache creating tasks trying to figure this out to get it in my truck so i thought to share it with anyone else that may want to install the actual factory uconnect on their vehicle.sure it will cost money but what doesnt these days if you want it you will pay for it... this cost me about $700.00 including 2.0 hours installation time at a dealer at $100/hr including the starscan which only took 5 minutes. i finally got the factory uconnect unit in my 06 power wagon yesterday. its awesome! however the factory unit may or may not be easy to put in depending on your vehicle. little background on harnesses from what i learned in the past 3 months it appears that dodge complicates things with their wiring harness design. rams with clearance lights and no uconnect have a completely different harness than with uconnect and the clearance lights. there are more combinations of course which lead me to find out there are numerous iterations of all the harnesses used in all dc vehicles depending on ordered options. i would imagine that dc did this to save on costs on the harnesses so saving $1.50 on harness parts per vehicle if not required on a vehicle multiplied over whatever amount of cars produced in a year that doesnt have a particular option i guess would amount add up even though all dc dashes electronics share part numbers. so it sux for figuring out what you need for a replacement. plus they would need to inventory or continue producing 20 + whatever the number is different harnesses. if there was only one harness used imagine the possibility of adding any factory option you didnt originally get at production. but nope dodge did not make it that simple... oh well. if its easy to put in or not would depend on your current harness. you may need an additional harness. requiring or not requiring an additional harness depends on your vehicle and whether it has the mirror harness jack in teh a-pillar and how many pins are in it. if less than 11 pins connected to live wires youll need the lx jet harness. if you need the harness youll just need know how to get into the headliner a pillar under the dash and pull out the radio. or take it to a dealer for a 2.0 hour job. also while at the dealer which you dont have to do and it works without this step to use the starscan to setup the new found device on the can so the evic is aware of it. if you dont need the harness the plug that the telematic unit gets plugged into in the lx cars is behind the glove box. in rams i believe the plug is behind and to the left of the radio but check dcx for the exact placement or just ask ted... if not sure or want to simplify the whole process ask ted what you need. hes also working a universal uconnect harness if your vehicle requires it which was originally designed by jaak as the lx jet harness for any dc vehicle whether with or without the rain sensors mirror dimmers clearance lights etc. ted can put together a package including the telematic unit mirror along with mirror harness already profesionally spliced into the jet harness that jaak created. whether you need this harness or not its pretty much a simple plug and play procedure. ted harris mopar super center rick hendrick dodge chrysler jeep http//www.moparsupercenter.com/ 800-456-5337 for more info how-tos etc what everyone else take on it is etc check out these threads. also check out jaaks garage too that has a bunch other factory mods and goodies. lx uconnect harness jet harness http//lxharness.com/index.phpact=viewprod&productid=2 lx forums installing the factory uconnect in your lx http//www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.phpt=22586&pp=10&page=14 dodge forums re installing factory uconnect http//www.dodgeforum.com/m371162/mpage2/key/tm.htm#700977 jaaks garage http//ca.geocities.com/knob@rogers.com/ more goodies at this site including a reverse cam not factory and modifying the nav radio to allow you to connect your laptop or a portable dvd player www.tvandnav2go.com you i hope this helps anyone attempting this awesome addition. ace infinite diversities in infinite combinations assimilation imminent. resistance is futile very funny scotty. now beam down my clothes. .

on fri 9 feb 2007 233700 -0500 stormin mormon cayoung61-&spamblock*-@hotmail.com wrote as i remember the original question was if the mormons use the bible. yes they we use the king james version. the b of m is irrelevant to that question. i have zero wives but someday wish to have all that the law allows. the fact alone that you stated with revisions alone states that your religion does not teach the truth. every morman ive heard will start off with the bible then eventually say thats where you have to go to the book of morman why cant find the answer in the bible or your afraid the bibles answer isnt what you want to hear .
